- A ucmonfmed Iebruny 14, 190a. semi Io. nseoa To all whom it may concem:

Be it known that I, J ass F. HINoK, a citi- I zen of the United States, residing at Minneand discon nected, and to provide one which is-siinple and inexpensive in construction,

nd strong anddura'ble in use;-

The above and other objects of the invention are attained in its preferred embodiment illustrated. in the accompanying draW-' ings, in which i Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through .he hose couplershowing the parts in their engaged or operativeposition in full lines; Fig. 2 is @Sllilllfll "VIBW showing the two members of the coupling disconnected; Fig. 3 is a view of the right hand end of the dericeshown in Fig. 11; and Fi .4 is a trans-'. veise section taken onfthe p ane indicated by the line XX in'Fig;'2, looking in the direction of the arrow.

The hose coupler comprises two couplin members 1, 2, the-latter: of which is adapte to enter the former. The member 1 has a 7 large bulb-like body ,3 at one end ofwhich is is shaped to provide an annular a reduced tubularportion 4 having a corrugated outer'surface for the attachment of a section of hose. The other end of the bulbular or ball-like body .3'is formed with a lar e mouth or openin 5.havin an in-" 'warfiy beveled annular ace 6. e other or inner coupling member 2 has a cylindrical body at one end of which is a radially project- I ing annular flange 7 which forms a circular head. This flange or head is of slightly less diameter than the mouth; 5 of the outer couplin so that; it may be slipped into the latter flan e or head 7 an the inner edge of sin veled face 8 which has substantially the'same'angle as the beveled face 6 iii the mouth 5. .The flange or head 7 is undercut or grooved as- :11- of soft rubber or the. like. is referably attached to its carrying sleeve at 9 to receive one end of a sleeve ldwhich is adapted to slide longitudinally n'pon'the member 2 .andwhich carries a washer ring Said washer 10 iy securing it between two clamping nuts 12 3 which are screwed u on thethreaded end 14 of the sleeve 10 an which have annular outer faces formed with diametrically opposed notches or seats 15 for the reception 0 a wrench or the like. The .washer 1S arranged adjacent to one end of the sleeve 10. At the other end'of thesleeve is formed an annular flange 16 by means of which the sleeve may be read'il I moved lon itudinally on the member2. t is retaine upon the latter I) a stop sleeve or collar 17 which is screwe' "upon the threaded outer end 18 of the member 2 and has its face corrugated for the attachment of a section of .hose.

The operation of the invention will be r'eadil seen upon reference to Fig. 1. When it is esired to coiihect-thetwo members ofthe coupling, the sleeve 10 'onthe inner member 2 is moved outwardly toward the .stop 17 as indicated in dotted lines in Fig.

1, and the flange or head 7 on said member 2. is inserted in the enlarged body 3 of the body 1 through its .mouth or opening The. sleeve 10 is then moved inwardly or toward ,the flange 7 so that the washer 11 passes through the mouth or opening 5- in the member 1. The member 2 is then drawn outwardly so that the soft rubber washer 11 will be compressed between the opposing faces '6, 8 on the two coupling members, as shownin full lines in Fig. 1. When the parts are in this position, the two hose sec-- tioiis willfbe effectively coupled and they i may be quickly disengaged by reversing the operation above described. The wedging of theiiiauge or-head t5 intb the mouth or open- .in 5 produces a joint that will be water 'tig t and inseparable until the member 2 is moved into the member 1 to disconnect the parts. i

Having thus described my invention what- I claim is;

1'. A' hose coupler comprising an outer coupling member having an opening, an inner coupling member to enter the opening in the outer one and a locki member freely slidable u on the inner mem r and adapted to be we ged by the latter between it and the outer member when the two coupling members are under tension, said looking fireelyslidable upon the inner member and a washer carried by said 'slidable member and adaptedjo enter between the two members to, .-prevent the removal of. the inner one from the outer one when they are under tension -x I 3."=A. hose coupler comprising an outer member hav ng an opemng formed with a beveled face, an inner member adapted to enter the outer one and formed with a bev- 1 eledface tovoppose the beveled face upon the outer member, a sleeve slidable upon the in- .nerf member and, a washer rm arranged upon the sleeve,and adapted to e engaged by the beveled faces of the two members when the latter are coupled.

A. A hose coupler comprising an outer memberhaving an enlarged bulb-like body formed with an opening having an inwardly beveled face, an inner member havinga oylindrical body formed at one end with a head having a beveled face to oppose the beveled face of the other member, a sleeve 'slidable upon the innermember, clamping nuts upon said sleeve and a washer ring held 'on the sleeve between said nuts and adapted ito engage the beveled'face of said membersv to prevent the removal of the inner-member irom the outerone when the "members are couplgd.

v hose coupler comprising an outer mem having an enlarged bul like body formed with an opening having an inwardly beveled face, an inner member'having a cylindrical body formed at one. end witha head having a bveled face to oppose the beveled fiace of they other member, a sleeve slidable u'pon ther-inner member, clamping nutsupon said: sleeve, a washer rmg held on the sleeve between said nuts and adapted to engage the beveled, faces of said members to prevent the. removal of the imier member from the outer one when the members are coupled and a stop sleeve screwed upon the outer end of the inner member.

6. A hose vcoupler comprising an outel member provided with a contracted opening, an inner member provided with a head, a stop upon the inner member, a'sleeve upon the inner member between said Head and said stop and a washer (carried by the slidable member and adapted ,to be wedged between said head of the inner member and the contracted opening of the outer member) In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
